1.00Very negative opinion. Tickets purchased through Trip Advisor were not accepted at the entrance to the Mezquita Cathedral. I had to buy more locally and was never refunded despite my claims messages which did not receive any response.
Short and sweet tour of the Mezquita

5.00We took the English tour with Fatima. Her English was great. The tour is perfectly brief - about 75 mins, hits all the high points and doesn’t get too bogged down in the details so you have time to take photos and enjoy being in the space. Highly recommended.
Wonderful experience,...
